Breaking News: Channi Questions Surgical Strikes Amid Pahalgam Outrage, Congress Slams Govt Inaction | ABP NEWS

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, nationwide outrage continues to grow. Amid this, Congress MP and former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi has stirred controversy by questioning the credibility of India’s surgical strikes. After a CWC meeting, Channi asked, “Where is the proof of the surgical strikes? Where did they happen? If bombs were dropped, wouldn’t we know?” Though Channi later clarified that he did not deny the strikes, his comments sparked political backlash. The BJP criticized Congress for doubting the armed forces, while Channi maintained that he simply sought clarity. Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised concerns over the government's inaction even 11 days after the Pahalgam attack. He emphasized that the CWC had passed a resolution supporting a strong response against terrorism. In related developments, amid rising India-Pakistan tensions, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh canceled his planned visit to Russia. In Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla, forest fires have created panic among residents.
